What is Craft Beer?

It sounds like an easy answer… but its answer can actually be quite elusive. Ask five different people and you might get five different answers. “Good beer.” “Quality beer.” “Independently owned beer.” “Small brewery beer.” “Good ingredients, hard work, small quantity, good tasting beer.” Are all of these answers right?

The following are some concepts related to craft beer and craft brewers:

• Craft brewers are small brewers
• The hallmark of craft beer and craft brewers is innovation. Craft brewers interpret historic styles with unique twists and develop new styles that have no precedent
• Craft beer is generally made with traditional ingredients like malted barley; interesting and sometimes non-traditional ingredients are often added for distinctiveness
• Craft brewers tend to be very involved in their communities through philanthropy, product donations, volunteerism and sponsorship of events
• Craft brewers have distinctive, individualistic approaches to connecting with their customers
• Craft brewers maintain integrity by what they brew and their general independence, free from a substantial interest by a non-craft brewer
